Is Miyamoto's take on new IP's right?

yes. but thats not what we are talking about..todays gamers bash nintendo for not releasing new IPs wchich means creating new characters in a new world. take for example Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy. those games are completely different except its a jump n run game but if galaxy had a new character instead of Mario it would be called a new IP.

That's the point. Would have been the game equally successful if it has been with a new character and a different setting (no Mushroom Kingdom I mean)? Think about it. Maybe Nintendo don't want to take unnecesary risks, or they don't bother at all. But had it been successfull, they would had a new IP they could exploit.

 

That's how bussiness work.
